People forgot how to be friends with people they disagree.
The true existential problem.
Discussion
its so strange
fathers forget how to love their sons
sisters forget how to love their brothers
its like that black eyed peas song
where is the love yall
People forgot it was possible. Nostr has reminded a few of us how
This is mostly an online/social issue. In physical reality I do not experience this any more than I ever did.
I get bored when my friends agree with me.
It wouldnât be difficult but someone always has to start throwing insults and thatâs when itâs over

I totally disagree. But let's be friends anyways.
When there is disagreement in fundamental values, it's difficult to maintain a relationship of trust.
Disagreement on opinions and viewpoints is absolutely healthy.
Itâs increasingly keyboard warrior âUs vs. Themâ, âWeâre right, youâre wrongââ- extreme binary.
That is sad for those who choose such division.
There used to be a lot of trolls paid to create angst where possible. Preferably to make one âsideâ look worse than the other, but always to create and increase division. Whereâd the money come from? Now most of itâs done through bots. Moneyâs still coming from somewhere.
I am still here, as I see myself aligned with the values here.
However I am more a Monero guy than a Bitcoin guy.
Being called a shitcoin guy by friends is rude, but I have my priorities clear. And so has anybody else.
Covid brought this to the fore like nothing else in my lifetime
A few common traps I see online:
Bashing women
Bashing men
Bashing christians
Bashing atheists
Bashing generations
Bashing whole groups in general
None of the these group generalizations will have favorable outcomes and they will instead trigger an opposite pendulum swing as the blamed group feels inclined to mobilize a group-based defense, and the circular animosities are in full swing.
i am to blame as well i realize it more and more, have to work on myself a lot in this regards
If someone stops being friends with you it's your fault.
